Manage The Port Speed And The Port Status - NETGEAR GS105Ev2 User Manual

Manage the Port Speed and the Port Status

By default, the port speed on all ports is set automatically after the switch determines
the speed using autonegotiation with the link partner. You can select a specific port
speed setting for each port, or disable a port by shutting it down manually.
To manage the port speed and the port status:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 10.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Port Status.
The previous figure is an example. Your switch might provide more or fewer ports.
6. Select one or more ports.
7. In the Speed menu, select one of the following options:
• Auto. The port speed is set automatically after the switch determines the speed
using autonegotiation with the link partner. This is the default setting.
• Disable. The port is shut down.
